Winnipeg

Winnipeg sits at City Score rank #84 with a standing of 50%, from 8 of 8 open-data pillars (tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, growth, safety). Missing pillars score at median standing so thin coverage cannot inflate the rank. The chart below shows how that standing moves year to year.

Latest owned placements: building permit value rank #9 of 172 (2025); indoor radon rank #4 of 117 at 257 Bq/m³ survey mean; residential mill rate rank #74 of 172 (11.66 mill rate).

Winnipeggers still measure the Peg from Portage and Main outward. Downtown, that intersection is wayfinding and weather talk in one breath. A short walk puts you at The Forks Market, where the Red River frames the lunch crowd and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights keeps the skyline honest. The Exchange District holds the brick warehouse grid that locals treat as both office block and Saturday browse. Across the river, St. Boniface keeps its own heritage file, complete with a 311 counter and buildings the City keeps trying to put back to work.

Flood season is not a metaphor here. The City keeps standing drainage and flooding pages tied to the Red River, and spring talk still starts with how high the water might run. Southwest, Kenaston Boulevard is the arterial that shows up when traffic or road-safety files hit CBC Manitoba. Linden Woods owns a quieter greenspace corner of that same southwest map. Northeast, East Kildonan shortens to E.K. in Free Press headlines, while Transcona anchors the east and Kildonan Park holds a north-end park day with a municipal golf course attached.

Outside the core, Assiniboine Park Zoo, the Manitoba Museum, and FortWhyte Alive fill the family calendar the way Jets and Blue Bombers fill the sports one. Richardson International Airport remains the travel hinge whenever WestJet or passenger counts lead the news. On the OpenStats City Score for 2026, Winnipeg sits at rank 38 of 125. Rankings aside, the hometown read is a prairie capital that orients by Portage and Main, watches the Red River, and still calls itself the Peg without needing a brochure.
